The market for the sports shoe industry is keeping pace with customer demands. Current trends dictate fairly clear requirements for shoes for active people.
The most unexpected options come when a creative designer takes on the task, setting himself the goal of changing the constructive and technological form of shoes. It is this original that can be called the famous Yohji Yamamoto, which has its own vision of the standard of sports shoes. A mixture of fashion and sport is the priority of the developer.
In collaboration with renowned Adidas, the result exceeds expectations. Collectible models of Yamamoto sneakers become a welcome acquisition of a large circle of customers. Products attract the attention of consumers with their non-trivial style, maximum comfort and high functionality through the use of innovative technologies.
Each collection line is accompanied by improvements in design technology, the use of high quality materials. This is a fusion of a subtle Japanese style with cutting-edge sneaker design technology.
When creating a collection, the author sometimes resorts to using natural fabrics (fleece, cotton) and synthetic knitwear. Such a technological solution can increase the stability of shoes with a sharp change in polarity of movement. The use of seamless technology of the inner part provides comfort and protection of the leg from rubbing. A peculiar lacing system brings newness to the image of sports shoes.
The Japanese vision of the shoe design process is based on improving the aesthetics of quality crosses. The product is distinguished by a high percentage of wear resistance and an original design performance of the image. The author prefers calm color schemes and the use of straight lines.

Adidas Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto is available in different colors (gray, black, red, harmonious calm compounds of violet and green, etc.) with monochrome white or black shock-absorbing soles. The author’s favorite color is black, so he is more often than others visible in the presented models.
The Adidas Y-3 Gasa models are complemented by green and brown accents.
Functional sports load of shoes is ideal regardless of destination (sports, jogging, walking, everyday).
